Played on Saturday, 1/13 with a tee time about mid-morning. Took around 5 hours to play 18. We didn't start on our scheduled tee time. It was about 20 - 25 minutes behind. It's been a while since I last played here.

I noticed that there were a few changes here. The driving range appears under new management as I had to get the balls at the pro shop instead of at the ball machine. The usual starter window where you paid was closed and you had to pay inside the pro shop. There was hardly anything in the pro shop for sale.

Course was in overall good shape to play. Being in January, the weather was warm when we played. It's been a few days after the recent rains and the course hasn't completely dried out. I did run into a lot of mud on my ball while playing today. Fairways were still a little wet. Fairways had good coverage. It was not all green, there were yellow spots, bare spots, muddy spots on the fairways but you can still play. There were a lot of leaves on the fairways/rough so it was a little hard finding your ball. Greens were in good shape. The bunkers had decent sand (it was a little thin). Tee boxes had good coverage. Water does come into play on a couple of holes.

Course was very busy today. It's a popular course to play. It's one of my favorite golf courses to play. It's got enough challenges to make it interesting to play.

Played on Monday, 1/15 a holiday with a tee time around 9 am. It took us around 4 1/2 hours to play 18. First time playing here for me.

Course was in overall good shape to play. The fairways were looking a little thin, yellow and bare in spots but you can still play. I didn't care for spots on the fairways with dirt mounds here and there. But I liked that the fairways were rather wide on the majority of holes. There were a lot of birds on the fairways and tee boxes on a lot of holes while we played. The greens were in really good shape today. I did find unrepaired ball marks here and there. I didn't land in any sand traps but my playing partner commented about the the thin layer of sand over the dirt in the bunkers. Tee boxes had good coverage but on one of the tee boxes had a lot of bird droppings. Water does come into play on a couple of holes. There a few lakes here on this course as well as a lot of birds too. You just need to approach your ball carefully with a lot of bird dropping all over this course.

The driving looks nice now after it was recently refurbished. Tho' I saw a sign on the door saying that the driving range lights are temporarily not working. Course is really flat so you can walk 18. Saw a lot of players walking today. This course doesn't seem to be as busy as Encino or Balboa. Will have to keep this course in mind in the future.

Played here a couple of times in December. One on Sunday 12/17 with a tee time around 10:30 am and the other on Saturday 12/30 with tee time around 1 pm. Pace of play on 12/17 was around 5 hours and 15 minutes and POP on 12/30 was around 3 hours and 45 minutes (twilight start time).

Course is an LA county golf course. It's not a destination golf course. It's just an ok golf course to play for me. It was reasonable to play here. Water comes into play on 4 holes. First time playing hole #16, I lost two golf balls. You need to layup on your tee shot on hole 16 short of the water (toward the bridge) and then you need to carry the water on your approach shot to the green. What I didn't know was there is water to the right on hole 16 on your second shot. Did better on hole 16 the second time I played it (almost got a par).

Fairways had fairly good coverage but there were bare and thin spots here and there. Landed in a few bunkers. They have sand in their bunkers, which is nice compared to some courses that just have dirt. Greens were very nice. Parts of the course are next to housing. You need to be careful not to hit your shots into their backyards. Some of the holes have severe dog legs.

They have a driving range here and short game practice areas here. Course is pretty flat if you want to walk 18.

Played here during the first week of November (11/8). It's one of our favorite places to play when we are in this area. It's a 9 hole executive course. It can be easily walked or you can rent a cart. Our favorite part about playing here are the views of Morro Bay from the course. Can't get these views anywhere else. Price is very reasonable to play here.

Course is in great shape. POP during the week about an 1 1/2 - 2 hours to play 9. Water comes into play on 2 holes. Plus if you're not careful, you can easily hit some of your shots out of bounds. The time we played, we noticed that most of the greens were punched. It was a little sandy putting on the greens. There is a driving range here -- an open field with yardage markers. Course is fairly flat but there were minor hills here if you hit into the valley in the middle on holes #4 and #5.

You can stay here and play here. There is a restaurant and bar here in addition to a hotel.

Played on Sunday, 9/10 with a mid morning tee time on a rather warm day. It took us around 4 - 4 1/4 hours to play 18 as the course was not busy due to the heat.

Golf course had decent coverage on the fairways. With the weather being so hot, it seemed like they were always watering here and there. There were bare spots and divots on the fairways. There were a few very wet spots on the fairways. You can still play. The tee boxes had good coverage too tho' there were some rather large divots here. I didn't care for the sand as it was mostly hard packed. The rough was rather lush and deep so it can be hard to find your balls if it lands in the rough. Greens were in great shape. It seemed to roll rather slowly as they were watering a lot of greens while we played.

This is one of my favorite golf courses to play in the SFV. The par 3s are fairly long but the fairways are very wide so you can swing away.

Played here on Saturday, 9/16 in the morning. This is nice facility with a two tier driving range, 9 hole par 3 golf course, a couple pitching/chipping area, bunker practice area and putting green. It was great seeing this facility being used for junior golfers as they had golf lessons on morning that I was there.

The driving range is two tiered with mats. Lower level is nice that there was shade from the second level above. Driving range is not too long with about 200 yards to the back netting. The entire driving range is covered - both sides, back and netting above. It was nice that there were targets on the driving range plus a football field goal post about 150 yards out. You just can't hit your ball too high as it will hit the netting from above.

It's nice 9 hole par 3 golf course with yardages ranging from 50 - 100 yards. It will take you around 1 hour to play 9 depending on the number of people in front of you. I like that the teeing mats had a little bounce to it (no mats on top of concrete). There are bunkers on this par 3 course. You can get your short game practice in. Fairways and greens were in good condition. The greens were a little soft as I saw a lot of unrepaired divots here. There's a lot of beginners playing here. You just need to watch out for errant balls from players on other holes. Hole #4 was fun to play as there was driving range on the left and a tree on the right with branches going over the fairway. You either have to hit your ball low under the tree branches or go through some of the openings in the tree branches over the fairway.

This is also a learning center with community room where instruction can be take place indoors. There's a small golf shop and they have some food available for purchase. They have their own parking lot. There's a lot of construction nearby on 5 freeway so there's a lot of road closures and detours in this area.

If I lived closer to this facility I would come more often. When I'm in this area, I might come here to get some practice in. Also this golf facility has lights. I don't know their hours but you can call them.

Played twilight on July 30 on a hot sunny afternoon. POP was around 4 hours to play 18. Not bad for a Sunday afternoon. It was rather quiet. We kept up and we didn't have to wait on any tee.

Course conditions were in great shape. The fairways were well covered and quite green and lush. The tee boxes were in good shape. The rough were deep in spots and bare in other spots. Had a few shots on bare ground off the fairway. The greens were in good shape rolling about medium. The only issue we had on the greens were unrepaired ball marks. The sand in the bunkers were decent.

Some holes on this course can be a little tricky with various mounds rolling through the fairways. Still can't figure out how to play the 18th hole. There's some serious mounds or hills rolling in the middle of the 18th fairway. I'm keep on hearing about the buried VWs or railroad cars on the 18th hole. It's a fun course to play.

There's no GPS in the carts. There can be noise from the ambulances that are going to the nearby hospital on the front nine.

Played today with a tee time before 12 noon. Got one of deal from teeoff.com . POP was around 4 1/2 hours to play 18. It got a little slow on the back 9 when all the groups in front of us got caught up as they were letting groups out before their scheduled tee times. Par 3s on the back nine was a little backed up.

Course conditions are the best I've seen for this time of year. The tee boxes had good coverage. The fairways had excellent coverage from tee to green. Fairways were fairly green. The only bare spots on the fairways were divots that were not filled in with sand. I did notice that some of the fairways on the back 9 were punched but it did not interfere with play. Rough can be a little tough. I did encounter some spots on the fairways that were a little mushy. We were told if you ball landed in nature areas that you need to pick the ball up, take a penalty shot and drop outside the nature area. Plus there were signs in the nature areas that no carts were allowed in this area.

Landed in a couple of bunkers. Bunkers were mostly dirt. Couldn't play out of sand like you normally would. Greens were in great shape. I did notice that some of the greens were a little soft as my soft spikes were leaving marks on the greens. Putts on the greens were rolling a little fast.

Love the layout of this course. This is kind of a links style course. Fairways were fairly wide. You just need to keep your shots on the fairways. There is water on this course but it was mostly off to the side and hidden behind tall weeks. There is a driving range here and a chipping and putting areas. I just didn't like that both the bathroom and clubhouse are in a couple big mobile home trailers. Carts don't have GPS in it. You need to bring your own to help you determine yardage to the greens. This is not an easy course to play.

Played today on 5/14, mother's day with a mid-morning tee time. It was very quiet today. Found out after I made my tee time that the greens were aerated about 5 days ago. Probably another reason why it wasn't that busy here. POP was around 2 hours to play 9. We hardly had to wait while we played.

The fairways and rough were fairly lush. There were some yellow spots here and there but you can still play. Tee boxes were well covered. As I had mentioned earlier, the greens were recently punched. Greens were very sandy with rather large punch holes. Probably should wait a few more weeks for the greens to recover. I noticed with all the sand on the greens that it made for a rather slow and bumpy putts. Oh well, it was just a nice day to be out playing and not a good day to putt.

Played on Sunday April 23 with a tee time around 9 am. It took us around 3 1/2 hours to play 18.

Noticed while practicing on the putting green that it was punched. A lot of greens were punched on the course -- not all. But those that were punched, made your balls roll a little slower. The punched holes were very big and had a lot of sand. Felt like putting in a sand box on some holes. The fairways had a lot of bare spots. Not fun hitting off dirt patch. The lies were getting a little thin on the fairways. A lot of the tee boxes were not level. Love the views on some of the holes on the back 9.

Like playing here to practice your short game. The par 4 holes are not that long.

Played on valentine's day 2/14 with a tee time around 11 am. POP was around 5 hours. Being a weekday, we thought it would play a little faster. It was mostly twosomes and threesomes today. But we had to wait on every hole.

Course conditions were very nice. Course was not muddy at all. It has been a few days since it last rained. Tee boxes had good coverage. Fairways had very good coverage too. There were some bare spots here and there on the fairways but the fairways were fairly green. The bunkers were nice too. The sand was nice and fluffy. The greens were in great shape. Greens were running a little fast.

Water does come into play on a few holes. Some of the water is off to side either on the left or right side of the fairway. There are a couple of holes where you need to carry water. On hole #14 you need to lay up on your tee shot to be short of the water. Then on your next shot, you hit over the water to the green. I find that a lot of players on hole #14 tend to hit their 2nd shot either to the right or left of 14th fairway. So therefore these players are playing on either hole #11 and hole #15 fairways. Not good if you're playing these holes and you have to wait for these players to get off your fairway. The 16th hole is the other hole where you need to carry water. It's a par 3 hole with a feel of island green in front. Course is not flat but it's a fun and challenging course to play.

It's a nice course to play. Driving range here is hitting in a net maybe around 100 yards. More of a warm up area on the driving range. There is a chipping area next to the driving range. There's a nice restaurant and bar here. Will be back again.

Played today, 1/16 with a tee time around 9 am. POP around 5 hours to play 18. We had to wait on every hole to hit. It was very busy today being a holiday. But 5 hours to play 18 is about average POP for Wilson.

Course conditions today was the worse that I have ever seen. I would say course conditions are no more than a 4. You can still play here. It's winter conditions on the golf course here. Granted this is a city golf course and not a private golf course, so this course does take a beating.

I played the yellow tees today and the teeing area was ok. Tee boxes for the yellow had good coverage. I saw most groups were playing from the blues. Can't comment about the blues teeing area up close but it looked like coverage was ok.

Fairways had ok coverage from tee to green. Tho' there were lots of bare dirt patches (and mounds of dirt) on almost every fairway and mud trails from carts driving through the mud on the fairways. A lot of fairway lies were thin but I saw a lot of new growth from the recent rains we had. There were lots of areas roped off to steer you away from these mud patches on the fairways. You can still play and hit from the fairways. Fairways were very bumpy. Rough was deep in spots, muddy in other spots. It was very bumpy driving over the rough. Sand was just so so. I never did like the sand here.

Greens were in good condition. Balls were rolling about average. Not too fast and not too slow. Saw a lot of un-repaired ball marks but that's not the course's fault. I did notice that balls did bounce a little bit on the greens.

Don't care too much for the driving range. It's in bad condition but you're mostly here just to warm up here anyways on the driving range. Food is decent in the clubhouse. I like playing here once in a while. Will probably hold off playing here again until the spring.
